答案 C7.A. Even if B.So thatC.In case D.Now that解析句意为:即使Myra不来,她也会送一份礼物。

由句意可知,前后分句之间为一种让步关系,所以应用表示让步关系的连词even if,意为“即使”。

答案 A8.A. proud B.capableC.sure D.afraid解析根据下文的描述可知,老人坚信她的女儿即便不来也会送她礼物。

be sure of为固定短语,意为“坚信,确信”,符合语境。

因此选watching最符合语境,意为“守望,眺望”。

答案 D12.A. steadily B.wildlyC.nervously D.randomly解析根据语境可知,此处应选wildly,该词是一种夸张的表达,旨在体现老人无法掩饰的、因迫切而慌乱激动的心情。

答案 B13.A. discontent B.lonelinessC.disappointment D.annoyance解析根据上下文语境可知,此句是指老人的心情由先前“狂乱的兴奋”跌之“沉重的失望”,是一种修辞上的对比。

disappointment意为“失望,沮丧”,符合语境。

答案 C14.A. patient B.anxiousC.urgent D.mild解析根据语境可知,此句是指老人自我解嘲、自我安慰的一种无奈的表达,同时也暗含着一丝苦涩的期盼,所以老人告诫自己还要“耐心一点儿”。

patient意为“耐心的”,符合语境。

答案 A15.A. immediately B.cheerfullyC.angrily D.unwillingly解析根据语境可知,此句是指老人对自己期盼的“礼物”非常失望,因此不愿意打开它。
